[802.3_NGAUTO] FW: [802.3_DIALOG] IEEE 802.3 July 2017 plenary meeting announcement



Colleagues, 

For those of you not on the DIALOG or 802ALL email reflectors, here is the
announcement of IEEE 802.3 WG meetings during the July plenary in Berlin.
Please read it carefully as it has the answers to many potential questions.

Also, a daily schedule may be accessed here: schedule.802world.com

Don't worry too much about the start and stop times and the actual meeting
rooms. The room assignments may change, so always check the schedule before
your meeting. The TF chairs may also request start/stop time changes as we
get closer to the plenary.

If you are new and are unsure about the differences between a plenary and an
interim meeting, please see pages 2 and 3 of:
http://ieee802.org/3/minutes/mar17/0317_meetings_close.pdf

Subject: [802.3_DIALOG] IEEE 802.3 July 2017 plenary meeting announcement

Dear Colleagues,

IEEE 802.3 will meet Monday 10th July through Thursday 13th July 2017 in
Berlin, Germany. The IEEE 802.3 meetings are scheduled to occur in the
Estrel Hotel, Berlin, Germany. As always, the IEEE 802 LMSC session
announcement, registration and current hotel information can be found
through the 'Next IEEE 802 Plenary session notice' link on our home web page
<www.ieee802.org/3>. To receive email updates and reminders for the plenary
sessions, subscribe to the stds-802-ALL reflector
<http://listserv.ieee.org>.

The IEEE 802.3 Working Group (WG) opening plenary meeting will begin at
10:00 on Monday 10th July, and the IEEE 802.3 WG closing plenary meeting
will begin at 13:00 on Thursday 13th July. Task Force (TF), standing
committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between the
opening and closing IEEE 802.3 meetings as illustrated in our typical
schedule also found on our web site <http://www.ieee802.org/3/plenary.html>.
The draft agenda, as well as liaison letters received so far, are available
in the minutes area <http://www.ieee802.org/3/minutes/jul17/index.html> and
will be updated as required prior to the meeting. The agenda will be
approved at the meeting.

We will gather two records of attendance, the attendance tracking tool and
attendance books in each meeting. The attendance tool will be the only
official record of attendance for building and maintaining WG membership.
The meeting attendance books will be used to record the attendance in the
minutes for each meeting and it is important that you review these minutes
to make sure your attendance is recorded correctly as this will be the
backup should there be an issue with the attendance tool.

Attendance credit toward membership requires attendance at three of the four
days of the IEEE 802.3 session, independent of how many days a particular
subgroup might be meeting. The attendance tracking tool will only allow sign
in on Monday at the opening IEEE 802.3 plenary and on Thursday at the
closing IEEE 802.3 plenary meeting (not during the Monday afternoon or
Thursday morning meetings). A number of WG decisions are expected during the
IEEE 802.3 meetings (most on Thursday during the closing meeting). Depending
on the amount of discussion, the Thursday closing meeting may run beyond our
target 18h00 ending time, so please plan your travel accordingly. Additional
subgroup information follows.

I look forward to seeing you in Berlin, Germany.

The Maintenance Task Force is also progressing a revision project, IEEE
P802.3 (IEEE 802.3cj) Maintenance #12 (revision), to revise IEEE Std
802.3-2015. This revision project is necessary to meet IEEE-SA requirement
to enable future amendments to be considered for approval as IEEE Standards.
The Revision will include the merge of currently published amendments, and
the currently published corrigenda and selected maintenance changes. It is
also expected that an IEEE P802.3 (IEEE 802.3cj) draft will be submitted for
Working Group preview in preparation for a request to proceed to Working
Group ballot.

Questions about maintenance activities can be addressed to the Maintenance
Task Force Chair, Mr Adam Healey.

Beyond 10km Optical PHYs call for interest 
------------------------------------------

CFI page: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/cfi/request_0717_1.html>

The following request for agenda time for a Beyond 10km Optical PHYs call
for interest has been received from John D'Ambrosia.

----

Over the past four years, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet WG has initiated several
projects that were chartered with developing new Ethernet rates, including
50GbE, 200GbE, and 400GbE.  The optical focus of these efforts has been
solutions that address reaches of 10 km or less.  There is an emerging need
to provide Ethernet solutions at these data rates to support the bandwidth
growth of applications that extend beyond 10km.  This Call for Interest is
to request the formation of a study group to explore the development of new
single mode fiber PHYs that address reaches greater than 10km for 50GbE,
200GbE, and 400GbE.

----

The call for interest will take place during the IEEE 802.3 Opening Plenary
on the morning of Monday 10th July. A call for interest consensus building
meeting has been scheduled to occur from 18:30 to 20:00 on the evening of
Tuesday 11th July. The vote to determine if a Study Group will be formed
will take place at the IEEE 802.3 Closing Plenary on the afternoon of
Thursday 13th July.


IEEE 802.3 SCC 18 ad hoc
------------------------

Ad hoc web site: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/ad_hoc/SCC_18/index.html>

The IEEE 802.3 SCC 18 ad hoc was re-charted at the IEEE 802.3 May 2017
interim meeting and continues to consider IEEE SCC18 items of interest, such
as proposed Tentative Interim Amendments (TIA) related to IEEE 802.3 and the
draft input to IEC TC64/PT716. The ad hoc will hold a meeting during the
plenary week.

Questions about the ad hoc can be addressed to the ad hoc Chair, Mr Chad
Jones.


IEEE 802.3 Isolation ad hoc
---------------------------

Ad hoc announcement: <http://www.ieee802.org/3/email_dialog/msg00676.html>

The IEEE 802.3 Isolation Ad Hoc was charted at the IEEE 802.3 May 2017
interim meeting to examine the current isolation text in IEEE Std 802.3 and,
if required, build consensus on proposed updates, either through the
maintenance request process or amendment project. The ad hoc is expect to
hold its first call shortly, and will hold a meeting during the plenary
week.

Questions about the ad hoc can be addressed to the ad hoc Chair, Mr Jon
Lewis.


Project Authorization Requests (PARs)
-------------------------------------

The following are the PARs from other Working Groups for consideration at
the plenary. Comments are due by 18:30 on Tuesday so if there is any
interest in reviewing an Ad Hoc will have to be chartered to generate and
submit the comments. Participants are invited to discuss any concerns about
the below PARs on the IEEE 802.3 Dialog reflector prior to the plenary
